Not a tool, but Veritas does have a performance tuning guide that gives 
you rules of thumb for configuration based on volume, number and type of 
tape drives, etc.  It's not great (how relevant is Mhz these days when 
you're talking about various hardware architectures?) but it's a decent 
start.  Start there and then ask specific questions.

Some vendors also have their own sizing tools.   You may have a local 
consulting company that has developed one.
